LOOKING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES

Is your last name Zolp? Are you under 4'10"? A Displaced Aurarian? If so, you may qualify for an Unusual Scholarship.

If not, we have other resources that can help.

There are several ways that you can seek money for your education, even if you're not a straight A student (check out the $1000.00 A GPA Isn't Everything Scholarship). Many students begin by talking with the guidance counselor of the college they will be attending. You can also research local entities, such as where you or your parents work, Kiwanis Clubs or the church or synagogue that you attend.

Another strategy is to explore free online resources:

Fastweb.com is the eHarmony of scholarship seeking. You describe your own profile in detail and Fastweb matches you up with compatible scholarships.

The College Board helps you locate scholarships, internships, grants and loans that match your education level, talents and background.

The Denver Foundation offers a number of scholarship programs for which students and teachers can apply. They also offer help on starting a scholarship fund or donating to an existing one.

College in Colorado is a fantastic resource for assisting all students with furthering their education past high school. It has everything they need to know about choosing, applying to and paying for college. Create your own portfolio and receive help based on your profile.

Grants to Individuals from the Foundation Center is a licensed database for accurate and current information on foundations that fund education, research, arts and cultural support and professional development. Available exclusively in Reference on Level 3 of the Central Library.
